Advanced Build Project Menu Options (Windows CE 5.0)

Send Feedback

The Platform Builder integrated development environment (IDE) is a thin layer over the command-line build system. This means that the Build Project menu options in the IDE are easily mappable to commands entered in a command-line prompt build window.

If you want to use a command-line prompt build window to work with a project, you can use these command-line equivalents to configure and run builds. As in the IDE, there are different combinations of commands and parameters that you can set for the desired outcome, such as building project.

For more information about the options available in the IDE, see Build Project Menu Options.

The following table shows the command-line equivalents for choosing Build Current Project from the Build Project menu, which varies based on additional menu options that you select.
